New Moon at 11 Degrees Virgo September 2, 2024
The Harvest Moon, when the Moon’s Light lasts a little longer to help farmers gather their crops and prepare for Winter. Traditionally, a time to celebrate the bounty of Summer and this New Moon is the second of four Supermoons in a row. Supermoons, in spiritual work, are considered more potent and is the time to set intentions.
Virgo is ruled by Mercury and Mercury has stationed direct as of August 28, 2024, however, will remain in a shadow period until September 12, 2024. What happened for you around the end of April 2024? You may be repeating or revisiting some of the same people and situations. Virgo is an earth mutable sign “I analyze” and rules the sixth house of the natural Zodiac. The sixth house represents service, occupation, small animals, health and illness, stepparents and stepchildren, healers, the nervous system, the stomach, and intestines. Strong Virgo energy will manifest intestinal issues when under stress. Emotionally intestinal issues are connected with the feelings of intolerance, anxiety, and fear of letting go. Herbs to ease upset stomach conditions are Ginger Root, Fennel, Parsley, Aloe Vera, and Roman Chamomile.
This New Moon is occurring hours after the planet Uranus stations retrograde in the sign of Taurus where it will remain retrograde until January 30, 2025. Uranus will be making a Trine to Pluto for several months bringing reflection on the concepts of Common Sense and a person’s individual sense of value and authority. Old systems and oligarchs have one final death rattle. On a personal level this is time for discarding what is outdated and no longer contributing to your sense of happiness and well-being.
There is an opposition from the New Moon configuration to Saturn in Pisces and a square to Jupiter. Focus on having truly clear facts and details before making a decision or move. Mars in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces is fuzzy, and it is important to triple check information as this square can spin an illusion and create chaos. Meditate on Saturn and the authority within yourself, the lessons you have learned and toughing out the growing pains to make mature wise decisions. One of Saturn’s hardest lessons is not taking the easy way out and doing the hard work to advance in life and being in Pisces, which could include making a sacrifice.
Venus in Libra opposing the North Node in Aries may find you feeling indecisive about a partner or relationship (not necessarily romantic). Partnerships could be moving physical locations. You may find yourself moving in or moving out from a romantic situation. The North Node is the element of destiny, so focus on past behavior patterns and promise yourself not to repeat mistakes of the past. Evaluate what your values and goals are and align the people and actions in your reality with those ideals. Do not be afraid to let go even if it means being alone for a while. The ultimate reward of self-love and self-care is inner peace.
